Chapter 307 Waiting for me?
Chen Hongmei saw that it was almost time for lunch, so she ignored the people in the workshop and looked over from time to time while they were chatting.

In addition to the gossipy married ladies, there are also some mechanics in the workshop, some of whom are unmarried and some are married.

A squad leader who is pulling a few horses.

And the person guarding the kiln on the other side was reluctant to look over.

In addition to these, there are also those who are picking up bricks and pulling bricks. Their busy figures pass by the people they are chatting with, and many of them have expressions but dare not show their emotions.

They are all busy with their own lives and work and dare not be lazy.

Their wages are guaranteed and are piece-rate. If they work more than that in a day, they will be paid on a piece-rate basis. Everyone wants to earn more.

Those who haul bricks only earn 380 yuan a month. Watching them running back and forth hauling bricks, they are all sweaty.

Chen Hongmei felt a little disgusted and looked at those people from different provinces with disdain.

Those who pull bricks have to be very strong, and generally they are men.

Those who pick up bricks also have to pay 380. They can use something to fill the space up a bit and sit down to pick them up. It seems easier than those who pull bricks.

The salary for printing machines is a little higher, at 450, and the salary for those inkjet machines is the same.

They have different divisions of labor and different salaries. If they earn more than the minimum wage, they can get about five or six hundred yuan a month.

In this factory, five or six hundred yuan is not a lot. I heard that the printing factory outside charges more than 700 yuan per piece.

However, the types of work in a factory are different. The wages of quality inspectors are calculated on a piece-rate basis, and they can earn around 1000 yuan just for working a few hours.

As for their office staff, the salary of 1000 yuan is the basic salary, and bonuses are calculated separately.

In 97, the wages in many factories were actually higher than theirs, but not every factory could hire them, and not every factory could get in.

This factory has no educational requirements; factories with higher salaries require a junior high school education or above.

Of course, there are also some skilled workers in other factories, such as the machine operators in printing factories, whose salaries are around two to three thousand.

Of course, there are some places where wages are higher, and skilled workers are very popular.

Not everyone can learn it, but there are opportunities to learn it. Some technical skills can already be learned in some colleges.

Chen Hongmei went back to the canteen to get food, and then returned to the dormitory. She endured until she finished her meal, then screamed and shouted loudly in the dormitory that her money was gone.

Lao Xinxiao knew of Chen Hongmei's trick, stuffed the money from the bed into Chen Hongmei's pillow and zipped it up.

She did not return to the dormitory today. After work, she went to the cafeteria to get food. A male colleague accompanied her throughout the whole process. They were just going the same way.

After finishing his meal, Lao Xinxiao took the bowl and did not return to the dormitory. He thought about Chen Hongmei’s conspiracy and wondered how to resolve it.

Of course I don’t have to face it right now. Since I moved to the dormitory, I haven’t met or chatted with my roommates.

Those people were in different classes. He was in the dormitory at noon and went home after get off work. He had no contact with any of his former colleagues at all.

"Acai, Axia, are you eating?"

Lao Xinxiao came in and greeted the two girls from Yingde. They were older than her. She heard that they came from a village in a mountainous area and had to walk a long way to go to school.

They also came to this factory and learned to ride a bicycle here after their fellow villagers bought one.

Both girls are over 20 years old and they don't have boyfriends yet.

Maybe I haven’t chosen one yet!

The two girls ate corn grits and fried pickles. The meal cost one dollar per person in the canteen, but they did not go to get food.

There was plenty of rice, but the dishes were not very good. The fatty meat and the tasteless vegetables were too much for them to bear.

I don’t know whether the corn grits they eat are brought from home or bought here.

They often don't have meals to cook, but just cook something in the dormitory. They also make their own pickles, which are made from taro stalks grown in the fields.

Lao Xinxiao once learned their cooking method and it tasted pretty good too.

"Old Xinxiao, he moved to the office to work, and he didn't come to visit us after he moved to the dormitory."

"Yeah, I heard you bought a motorcycle? Is the salary in the office so high? You bought a motorcycle just a few days after you started working?"

Lao Xinxiao lamented that everyone working the night shift knew about the news.
She shook her head and said, "Don't you know how much our factory pays? Besides, I haven't received any salary since I started working in the office. As for the motorcycle, it was bought by my family."

Lao Xinxiao couldn't tell anyone about the car he bought. She had no fellow villagers in this factory, so she could lie and no one would know.

Who would go to her hometown to check on her?

The two girls heard that the car their family bought, although not bought by Lao Xinxiao, was also bought by their family, so their family was very well off.

"Old Xinxiao, your family is not in business, right? Or does it run a factory? Or a store?"

Ah Cai's eyes were full of envy, but she had no evil intentions of jealousy or hatred. She just lamented that she worked so hard all year and had to send back the little money she earned back home. When would workers like them be able to earn enough money to buy a motorcycle?
Can't even think about it.

"Old Xinxiao, do you have a brother or a younger brother? Is your brother or younger brother married?"

Axia's eyes turned and she had an idea. If she could get a local to introduce her to a local man to marry, especially someone like Lao Xinxiao who is a villager and has good conditions, and if she is lucky enough to join their family, wouldn't she also be able to become the boss's wife?
You can also help your mother's family and introduce jobs to people from your mother's family.

"My older brother has a girlfriend, and my younger brother is still in high school."

As soon as Old Xinxiao heard what Axia said, he understood what she meant. She didn't care about the marriage between the eldest brother and the younger brother. She was not picky. If she was a good matchmaker, she would get a thank you. If she was not a good matchmaker, she would feel resentment.

Why bother...

Lao Xinxiao chatted with the two of them for a while. She finished the rice in her bowl, and the two workers also finished their corn porridge.

They stood at the door and washed dishes in the tap.

Then I heard Chen Hongmei's scream from the house in front.

Old Xinxiao..., has the acting started?

The people in the two dormitories behind them who were not at work heard the screams and understood the reason. Many people wanted to see what was happening, so they rushed out of the dormitories, hurried downstairs, and went to the house in front to watch what was happening.

People living downstairs and upstairs in the house in front heard Chen Hongmei's screams and followed to watch the fun.

"Old Xinxiao, it seems like someone is from your dormitory? Why don't you go and see what's going on?"

Acai's voice, and then Axia's, their voices woke up the people who were sleeping.

Lao Xinxiao..., the play is being performed for me. If I, the leading actor, don’t go, will I be able to sing?

……

Lao Xinxiao and his co-workers arrived at the dormitory entrance, where there were already hundreds of people gathered, because in front of their dormitory entrance was the office square.

There is also a large square on the other side of the dormitory. This square is made of cement and is convenient for vehicles to enter and exit, as well as for people to go to and from get off work.

There is a small court outside the office opposite their dormitory. Usually, some workshop directors or office staff play ball here.

But it was just a hobby after work, and no one wasted energy on playing. Unless it was an organized game, Lao Xinxiao once saw a short and lame director playing with a tall and strong young man. Of course, he couldn't run as fast as the others, so it was normal for him to lose.

Lao Xinxiao discovered that more office staff came from the team that built the factory.

Of course, people who can get high-level jobs have their own skills.

Some salesmen, drivers and the like, some come from other cities, other counties, other provinces.

Many people made way for Lao Xinxiao when they saw her, allowing her to enter.

The girls' dormitory was robbed, but the door lock and window were not broken. There were only two people living in the dormitory. If one person was robbed, the other person would become a suspect.

Many people looked at Lao Xinxiao with suspicion, making her a suspect.

Not everyone who works at the factory knows Lao Xinxiao. Others know her, but she doesn’t know others.

Without her fellow villagers, her co-workers would not speak up for her, simply because they did not understand the situation.

Besides, who would dare to testify if it was a theft?
Now everyone is here to watch the fun.

However, Chen Hongmei's fellow villagers have already determined that she is a thief with accusatory words.

Chen Hongmei kept screaming and cursing to vent her anger. Others didn't know that she was cheating people, so their cursing was understandable. Others thought she was angry because her money was stolen.

I don’t know if Chen Hongmei wants to use public opinion and this deceptive method to discover her jealousy and hatred towards Lao Xinxiao in order to bring her down.

"Old Xinxiao, where have you been? Did you steal my money? My money was all there before I went to work. I was planning to use the money to buy some supplies. Fellow villager, bring some things and supplies for your family when you go home, and bring some money."

Chen Hongmei screamed and accused him, and no one doubted that he had a fellow villager who was in the driver group.

Some raw materials do not need to be purchased from outside. We can buy yellow mud from some mountains to make tiles.

As for other raw materials, they can be imported from some mines.

There is no need to enter the outer market.

The reason why the fellow villagers of this driver group can go to other places is, of course, that they sell these tiles to other places.

Transport it to other places by car or by train.

Of course it is also an order, because it is an order from other places, they ship the goods to other places.

This is when the ability of the salesperson is shown. They can't just sell in one city, because there are too many factories like this in their city. If they only sell in this city, how can they sell so many tiles?

The tiles will be sold to many cities and counties where there are no tile factories.

After the reform and opening up, with the establishment of a tile factory, we had the ability to consume.

Your homes are no longer made of mud, they will lay concrete floors, but they find that concrete floors are inconvenient to clean and unsightly.

With the emergence of commercial buildings and some office buildings, tiles are not only used for interior decoration, but also for outdoor decoration.

Different assembly lines produce different products and sell them at different prices.

The tiles produced by their factory are more popular and are used for outdoor toilet decoration or small surface decoration.

"I didn't expect you to be such a bright and beautiful person, but you turned out to be a thief. No wonder you were able to buy a motorcycle. Maybe..."

A fellow villager of Chen Hongmei, upon hearing Chen Hongmei's accusation, also joined in the responsibility.

There were many noises at the scene. Many people had seen Lao Xinxiao's motorcycle. They could also see the car in the carport from here.

"Chen Hongmei, don't act on your own. I haven't been to the dormitory since I started working."

Old Xinxiao stared at Chen Hongmei's eyes and laughed, saying with contempt.

Then he said to those who spread rumors:

"And you people, stop making up rumors. My car was bought by my family, and this one has the license plate. It was bought a few days ago."

Your money was there in the morning. I didn't return to the dormitory during work hours, and I didn't return to the dormitory after get off work. You spread rumors that I stole it, and I said you returned to the dormitory to steal my things."

Chen Hongmei continued with what she had just said and did not change her words.

The desire for revenge was too strong. When I returned to the dormitory just now, I didn’t go to Lao Xinxiao’s bed to check whether the money was on his bed.

He was feeling proud in his heart but cursing at the same time.

"What's going on? Why are you gathered here?"

Hundreds of people gathered at the door of a dormitory. Next to their dormitory were the dormitories of some workshop directors. As for the factory leaders, their accommodation was also in this row.

More people will stay at home and sit in the office during lunch time, or take a break in the lounge in their office.

As for those salesmen and drivers from other places, they all have dormitories here, which is in the row of dormitories next to them.

The director and deputy director all came, including the two fat and big-eared directors, the deputy directors, and the young director Huang, to resolve the dispute.

The factory director came, and Chen Hongmei felt that Lao Xinxiao was doomed.

Yelling and telling about her lost money.

During the whole process, Lao Xinxiao neither admitted nor would he admit it.

What I mean is that I haven’t entered the dormitory since I started working.

On the contrary, you live in the dormitory and go to and from work in the dormitory. If your money is lost, is it because you opened the door and someone broke in and stole it?

It's impossible to frame me.

Lao Xinxiao did not admit it, and Chen Hong did not say that she stole it.

2000 yuan.

As factory leaders, they were not qualified to search employee dormitories.

Lao Xinxiao said that they were spreading rumors and making false accusations, so why not call the police!

In fact, there are militiamen in the brigade. First of all, some staff members in the brigade solve the problem, and if they cannot solve it, they will ask the police to do it.

The employees in the factory all give them a chance.

Disputes also involve misunderstandings.

The two sides had different arguments, and we were both lesbians, and we were arguing.

The factory allowed Lao Xinxiao to work in the office after looking at her registered address.

Although there are rich and poor people in the same town, judging from the way she is dressed, if her family doesn't own a factory, then everyone in her family has a job.

Although 2000 yuan is a lot, it is equivalent to one or two months' or three or four months' salary for an average worker, and half a year's salary for a workshop worker.
